Would you have liked to learn computer programming, and maybe even to have built your own computer? All you had to do was take part ina fund raising activity and you could have been a member of the electronics club. Members of the club sold candy so that they could buy disc drive for their TRS 80, Model 3 computer. They also bought an E.P.R.O.M. burner so they could program language chips. The club had about 40 members, although only about I5 of them were really active. Of the many advantages of being in the club, two of the most prominent were the chance to share ideas and the opportuni- ty to buy parts in bulk. “For those who are interested, we give H.A.M. radio license 10 Underclass Members of the club usually tried to save themselves money by building things that they could use around the house. In No- vember, many of the students were mak- ing equalizers for their stereo systems. One time, they even tried to build a ro- bot, and had a good time, if not too much success. These improvising students even managed to save the school some money by rebuilding the multimeters that the regular electronics classes used. Enjoying themselves thoroughly, Mark Kettman, Sen- ior, and John Lynch, Junior, build some computer modules.

These students were picked for their general recall ability of facts and “cocktail trivia.” The show was taped on February 17, for the Channel 5, KSDK, program Telequiz 5.

They came to the school to film an average day, in a not-so-average high school. The clip made was shown during part of the show. It showed some shots of the com- puter center, concourse, and the advise- ment center. It also showed how a school could give its students so much freedom — without abusing it. But the show was the thing. The ques- tions asked in the show ranged from “How many feet ina mine?” to “Who was Thomas Jefferson’s running mate?” The first person to get it right won the points. If a question was not answered, it was passed and the teams went on to the next question. Mrs. Garafalo commented, ‘‘l really enjoy working with those students; they’re good kids and | like working with them.” Karen Knorr 10 Jeff Koenegstein 9 Lisa Layton 10 Thomas Lawson |0 Lana Lauher 9 Melissa Lashley Il Beth Laporta 9 Cheryl Larche Il Marie Landreth Il Eric Lanham 9 Brian Lange 9 Susan Lammert 9 Cynthia Lammert II John Lammers 10 Jan Lammers Il Jim Lammering II Tim Lammering II Tammy Lamb 9 Kim Lamb 10 Kelly Lael Il Brian Lacy 10 Karen Kyles 9 Deana Kirschenmann 9 John Kruszka Il Cindy Kruszka 9 Diane Kronmueller Il Todd Krone Il Ed Kretzler Il Kara Kretzer Il Steve Kossman Il Kurt Kostecki Il Kenny Kostecki 9 Kevin Kopp Il Ronald Koester 9 Underclass 109
